When at an interview................... |
what do you tell a potential employer when he asks you the question "Why should I hire you out of all the other applicants I have interviewed for this position?" What sperates you from them. some are more qualified than you. When I've interviewed people, I'm always thinking what can be taught and what can't? There may be someone who is more skilled on paper, but I would choose the one that has the most passion for the job, has a positive attitude, and seems to have the best 'people skills' because these attributes are not easily taught. Therefore when asked why should they hire you, focus on your passion - why do you want this job? They want to know you'll be happy in that position so emphasize that. Also stress your soft skills, such as ability to communicate well, get along with others, work independently as well as on a team, and your positive, flexible attitude. All the best with your job search! Say well in my last position I was able to make the company so much money, and save the company so much money and I achieved this and that while there over a short period of time. Makes saves and achieves, they want you to brag about yourself a little. i would simply state that i don't know the other applicants and can't speak for their qualifications, however, i KNOW that i am a highly motivated employee and i am a positive influence in any work environment and i see myself being an asset to the company. those are things that the other applicants who are "more qualified" may not be able to say. good luck! Tell him," Because you were hired by this company to determine by talking to me, and through your gut feelings, would have an idea if I would be right enough for this job, or even worth given a chance. Because you need good team players to be able to make a company work, and I could benefit this company, because I work well with others, and I'm good at my job." This is a smart question. Give them a smart answer. It is not the answer that they really want - but how you will answer it. Some answers are: "I don't think i have a way of telling you exact because I have not talked to the other applicants, and I don't want to make up a story, but i can prove you if you give me a chance to work here." Good luck to you. |
